Linen Pants

I like to stand firmly in the camp of not paying full price for anything. So it was pretty bad that I went back to Loft two days after trying on these linen pants and buying them, at full price. Even though the whole store was 40% off, these were Lou & Grey and thus, disappointingly, excluded from the sale.

I will say I feel they were worth it, they are so soft and comfortable, yet look appropriate enough to wear to work, and since they are a linen blend, do not fall victim to the massive wrinkles I associate with the fabric. Not that I'm saying they don't wrinkle at all, just that in these photos I wore them at work all day and they still appear presentable. Unlike 100% linen when I steam the heck out of it and its gorgeous and then by the time I arrive at my destination it looks like I slept in it for a week.

I'm just going to have to defend my purchase by wearing the heck out of these pants and getting that cost per wear down.

  1. They definitely look like they were a good investment - I'm sure you'll get a ton of wear out of them this summer.

  3. THey are lovely pants, so I can see why you had to have them! :) I'm the same, I tend to stick to sales when I buy things. Even my wedding dress was on sale, haha! I have a leather jacket I paid full price for and it will always be my most expensive item of clothing. Just like you, I've gotta get that cost per wear down on it!

    Hope you are having an awesome week so far! :)

  9. I rarely pay full price for things either. Why should I when there is almost always some type of sale?? But these pants are so cute, they are totally worth the full price!

  11. Sometimes, when you love something, you just know - and it sounds like that was the case with these pants. They do look incredibly comfortable, and the truth is, you really can't put a price on linen that doesn't wrinkle (because the 100% variety really does, and what a pain to be constantly steaming!) These pants are beautiful on you and I hope you get lots of wear out of them this season, and for many more seasons to come.

  16. Ugh, I hate those exclusions from sales--especially at Loft. But I think you did the right thing in buying them, these pants are perfect on you! Now I want to go buy them, I need some olive pants!

  21. I love the idea of a linen blend instead of 100% linen because it drives me crazy when they are totally wrinkled!
